Solid-State Mini-ITX Linux Recording Studio HOWTO

Posted by timothy on from the two-gigs-of-flash-aren't-isn't-cheap dept.

An anonymous reader submits "LinuxDevices.com has posted a project howto on building a dedicated music recording and editing computer that uses a CompactFlash card instead of a hard drive, to eliminate hard disk chatter. It uses the latest release from the Agnula (GNU/Linux Audio) project, and the newest Epia MII-12000 mini-ITX board from VIA. The method described in the article applies to embedding most any Knoppix-based Live CD onto CompactFlash boot media."

    I understand the need for lack of hard drive noise. A network boot system would solve this problem as well. I've been playing with it at home just for fun, and it works well, and yields a surprisingly responsive system. There's an old-but-good article at tldp.org.

    Another nonexistent problem is now solved!

    Hard drive noise is really the least of the noise problems in a modern studio. Speaking from personal experience.

    I mean, my power amp is louder than anything in my home project studio, including the computer.

    OK, mod me down, please.
